I am accounting the problem that the keyboard/computer seems to 'forget' letters when I type. This also goes for space, backspace, enter, punctuation, etc. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with how fast I type. Sometimes it even occurs when I just write one single letter. When I write sentences it occurs with a frequenzy of 1-2 letters for every word I type.

Any ideas as to what might be the problem and how to fix it? It's driving me nuts and I have my written exams in just two weeks!

1. Restart your computer. 2. Before the windows logo you should gently tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with a Windows XP Advanced Options menu. 3. Select the option for Safe Mode using the arrow keys. 4. Then press enter on your keyboard to boot into Safe Mode. 5. Do whatever tasks you require and when you are done reboot to boot back into normal mode..

It seemed to work fine in safe mode. And strangely, after having put it back in normal mode, typing works fine. But I don't know if it might occur again? I've only noticed the problem the last few days, I bought the laptop friday last week. I might not have noticed the problem earlier than that because I thought I just had to get used to the keyboard, and that it was me who didn't hit the keys properly.

Several people say that it might be a virus? But that seems strange. I have never encountered virus before in my life, on any of the laptops or computers I've had, and I haven't read any weird mails or clicked on any strange links or run any suspicious programs or the likes.

I called Acer support. they said that the problem probably occured due to a wrong startup of Lounge Manager when I installed the computer, downloaded a lot of updates and installed my own programmes, and that by putting it into safe mod and then back to normal, everything was sort of 'resetup/restarted/reprogrammed', so that everything now is able to work together?
